View Poll Results: How many points will Niklas Kronwall finish the season with?

I'm going to say around high 30's in points. Offensively I'm not that worried about him. I just don't know how he's going to do being that #1 guy defensively. I wish we would've signed Hannan. He would've been perfect with Smith or Kindl. I'm still really hoping we trade for Jaybo. I'd rather not start the year with Smith, Ericsson, and Kindl all on the team.

I agree with you guys. I'm thinking 41-50, and I too will go right in the middle with 45. He's going to have so much pressure on him this season. He'll need to continue and develop his overall game. Big season for Kronny. All-Star, wearing the "A", and being the #1 defenseman on the Red Wings for the first time in at least 15 seasons.

Yep im the guy who put 30-40. Doesnt mean he wont be a good #1, I just dont see him putting up more then high 30's. I think he will be a little shell shocked at first and afraid to pinch, lay those big hits or step into the slot for a shot. He is going to be afraid to make a mistake.

38 points. He already plays significant minutes and plays on the power play, so I don't see where a large jump in numbers would be warranted, plus not having Stuart as his partner, I would think he is going to have concentrate more on the defensive aspects of his game.
